EU FISHERIES COUNCIL AND EUROPEAN PARLAMENT REACH AGREEMENT ON THE FUTURE OF EU FISHERIES SUBSIDIES

Today the European Union’s Fisheries Council and the European Parliament secured a deal on the future European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. The EMFF will make available approximately €6.5 billion from 2014 to 2020 to support the EU’s fisheries sector and its maritime policies. It will be instrumental in effective implementation of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy, or CFP, including its targets to end EU overfishing and restore fish stocks.
